Design System Lead at HashiCorp. In love with Atomic Design, Design Systems & CSS architecture. Attendee/speaker/organiser of tech conferences and meetups.
Any experts out there that can help me solve this puzzling question about CSS custom props, aliasing, inheritance and :root?
Look at this codepen: https://codepen.io/didoo/pen/OPLbROG
Why the color cascades down correctly, via the "aliased" CSS variable, when the "theming" class is applied to the <html> element (which is :root in CSS) and not when it's applied to the <body> element? (In the same way as the non-aliased variable works)
I don't understand: what am I missing? 
Great first day at ! Fantastic talks, great vibe, a LOT of food for thought (also for a seasoned* design system practitioner like me), and above all was nice to catch up with long time friends, as well as meeting new like-minded ones. I can鈥檛 wait to be back tomorrow for the second part!
* kudos to who worked on the lineup 
and to @zeroheight for organizing the event
